Impahla realises that it needs to continually
improve retention of employees who have
already passed the initial probationary phasewith the company. Certainly, the technical
ability of the people it employs is good.
Impahla looks for multidisciplined people,
capable of working on different lines, as the
work demands. This aspect is a key strategy
that the firm believes greatly improves its
ability to deal with peaks and troughs in
demand. If there is excess capacity on one
line, operators can be redeployed. Impahla
is fortunate not to have had to put any
employees on short time since the business
start-up around nine years ago
